RENNET SHORTAGE.
Manufacture of Cheese May be Held Up. Per Press Association. ELTHAM, December 22. The cheese industry of New Zealand is threatened with a serious hold up through a shortage of rennet. Suppliers to dairy companies throughout Taranaki have received a circular from Wellington to the effect that owing to the export of the Dominion’s available supply of veils, there is now no raw material in the country to manufacture the rennet necessary to cope with ♦he extra output of cheese. This acute shortage was foreshadowed some months ago, both by the N.Z. Co-oper-ative Rennet Co., Ltd., and by a deputation from dairying interests to Cabinet Ministers, when it was pointed out that it was essential that all veils should be kept in the country. No action was taken by Cabinet and. consequently, veils suff.cient for half a year’s output of cheese were exported by overseas meat interests. It is understood that foreign rennet is being hurried to New Zealand, but it is questionable whether it will arrive in time.
